How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally inspected and serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures safe operation. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will lubricate moving parts, check spring tension, inspect cables and rollers, test safety features, and adjust the door balance. If you use your garage door heavily (more than 4 times daily) or notice any unusual sounds or behavior, more frequent service may be beneficial.

What are the signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Several warning signs indicate your garage door springs may need replacement: the door feels unusually heavy when manually lifted, the door opens unevenly or appears crooked, you hear loud snapping or popping sounds, there are visible gaps in the spring coils, the door slams shut quickly, or the opener struggles to lift the door. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and should only be replaced by trained professionals. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately - attempting DIY spring repairs can result in serious injury.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes removing the old door (if applicable), installing the new door panels and tracks, setting up the opener, programming remotes, and testing all safety features. Custom doors or doors requiring modifications to the opening may take longer. We schedule installations during a convenient window and ensure everything is working perfectly before we leave. Our technicians will also walk you through the operation of your new door and answer any questions.

Denver's housing stock ranges from historic bungalows in Washington Park and Capitol Hill to newer builds in Stapleton and Green Valley Ranch. That variety means garage doors face different challenges depending on the home. Older homes often have unique door sizes or outdated hardware that requires custom solutions, while newer construction typically uses standard sizes but may need modern smart opener installations.

Colorado's weather puts real stress on garage door components. Temperature swings from 15 degrees on winter mornings to 75 by afternoon cause metal springs and cables to expand and contract constantly. Springs last about 7 to 9 years here, not the 10 to 12 you might see in milder climates. Denver's low humidity is great for comfort but tough on wooden doors, which can warp or crack without proper sealing and maintenance.
